first time Portland
Andrea was a joy to deal with, no problems with communication. Dragon Fly was as the pictures showed very nice. Lots of windows for natural light during the day time which we really like. All of the bedding's as well as the bed were fine. The kitchen was very well stocked. Very quiet neighborhood, did hear the train once and awhile no big deal. Grocery store and Starbucks were very close which was nice. The Dragon Fly is very well decorated and plenty of room for my wife and I. Lots of street parking even though the street is rather narrow. Would stay here again.

The Dragonfly House is probably the best ABnB we’ve ever stayed in. Super cute little house that is so well decorated it’s pretty hard to beat. This was our second stay, and certainly won’t be our last.

Loved the Dragonfly House!!!
This was the perfect place in a cute neighborhood and exactly what we needed for our short stay in Portland. Loved the character of the house which just added to the relaxing and welcoming feel. Andrea was a great hostess... she even checked in to make sure we had arrived and were able to access the property all right. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again the next time in we are in Portland.

Great little house that was super clean and inviting! We didn't use the kitchen but as I nosed around it appeared to be well stocked, we could have cooked up meals easily. For us, it was a good location, close to our kids, for others maybe not so much. Located in the Kenton area it is in a quiet neighborhood with adequate parking. Way comfortable bed and nice shower!

Perfect Little Dragonfly
This is an excellent choice to stay if you’re visiting the area with a spouse or partner. It had just the right amount of space for my wife and I. Andrea and Brad make sure the house has all the amenities you may need. There is plenty of things to do in the area. We enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to be back.

We truly loved our stay at your home, the Dragonfly house. Very clean, wonderful towels, beautiful artwork, and had everything we needed for our stay. This home is only one mile from my sister's home, and the walk between the two is lovely. I hope to stay here again next time I'm visiting my sister!

Awesome location
I had an amazing stay at the Dragonfly House! I loved Kenton and the surrounding area. I had a rental and parking was ALWAYS available right out front which was my main worry and though a little up north for everything I was interested in the house was in the perfect location. Clean throughout and you can tell it’s kept that way! Definitely will try to book this same place for the next Indycar Portland GP

A very nice unit in many ways
This is a delightful one-bedroom home in a great neighborhood, quiet and safe, with good street parking. The location is excellent for parks, coffees, and groceries. The kitchen is very well-appointed, with spices, coffee beans, and a huge fridge. The bathroom has a lovely selection of bath products (shampoo, conditioner and body wash). We were mostly quite comfortable here. However, there are some things that we suggest need attention. One of us slept in the bed, and the other on the sofa bed in the living room. The mattress on the bed was quite lumpy and uncomfortable, stained underneath the mattress pad, and definitely needs replacement. The reading lamps are two glaring spotlights balanced on top of the bed frame and very easy to dislodge. There is a ceiling fan in the living room, but the bedroom could really use a portable fan. The unit seems more suited for a couple, as the sofa bed was rather awkward to set up and take down each day. The bathroom could use a safety grab bar to help climbing in and out of the tub/shower. The heating and cooling system was complicated to operate. With some attention, this unit would certainly deserve five stars. We would definitely re-book if there were some changes.
